Opportunities in the Lab

Prospective Graduate Students

We are recruiting 1-2 graduate students to start in Fall 2026 at Fordham University!

If you are interested, please email Katie your CV and a research summary. Also, prospective students should be aware that there is affordable housing available on-site at the Calder Center field station in Armonk, NY, or students could chose to live in NYC, based on their preference. See the department website for more detail on the graduate program.

  1. Your CV. This should include past research experiences (tech positions, thesis projects, etc. ) and your role in them, any awards, grants, publications and/or presentations.

  2. Research Summary. What are your research interests and how do they align with past Turo lab research?

Prospective Undergraduates / Technicians

We will very likely be recruiting for 3 spring/summer research field technicians in 2026. Stay tuned for a job ad here!

Prospective Postdocs

We are open to postdoctoral scholars joining our lab but there is no active funding right now for a postdoctoral position. Feel free to reach out to Katie about your research interests if you’d like to write a grant/fellowship together (e.g., USDA NIFA Postdoctoral fellowship, Smith Conservation Research fellowship). Katie has experience with successful postdoc grant writing and would be happy to mentor interested postdocs.
